Sweet - a fuel cell hot rod made by high schoolers

Ponaganset High School teacher Ross "Mad Dog" McCurdy must have the coolest science class ever. He has taught students about fuel cells for four years and the class project is turning a replica of the 1923 Model T into a fuel cell vehicle. The car is already converted to run on batteries.

There are not a lot of fuel cell cars out there and they say this one will be the first for the state. They have brought the car to the state house. They plan on bringing it to Washington, DC along with a message of clean energy and great things like that. They are still looking for sponsors. Good luck to the team.

High School students head to model hydrogen fuel cell car challenge this weekend

Posted Apr 25th 2006 at 12:53PM by Sebastian Blanco

The Department of Energy and GM are coordinating a weekend’s worth of competition for high school students from across the country. The National Science Bowl (NSB) features all the tense competition of the question and answer science bowl sessions and al the excitement of a car race (see photo, and always remember that science is a blast).

There are two parts to the model hydrogen fuel cell car challenge part of the NSB. The first is the straightforward speed challenge. The second is getting the model cars to drive up the steepest six-foot incline. Participants must build their cars using only parts from a kit provided at the competition, but they may bring plans and designs with them.

One kind of weird specification: the model cars must display sponsor’s stickers. Hat tip to reader Matt Simmons. [Source: Department of Energy, Photo from 2004 competition]
